Second Hand


second hand clothes
never quite fitting the way that they should
second hand daughter
a good replacement but quite good enough
second hand lover

i never get enough of your time

second hand affection

only happens in the dark

second hand smile

never quite touching your eyes

second hand love

almost enough to fill the void

second hand heartache

not quite as painful but still a dull ache
